SDSF Rexx and Output queue
I am writing my first SDSF REXX program. The process is suppose to go to specific output queues and get the tot-recs for each job. If I find a job is GT 500,000 lines, then I will need to modify the printer to accept it, then put the printer back. While reading the documentation I did not see that there was the total record count that I could retrieve. Perhaps I am being to narrow in my understanding in SDSF/REXX. Is it possible to do what I want? Or do I need to use the batch SDSF job and then just parse the information that way?

Re: Validating existance of a Volume from REXX
How to deal with a volume that is valid but offline? The D U fail because the volume is offline. This is one issue I have been struggling with. How can I see the volumes when they are offline in REXX or through a Batch interface? I know that ISMF can see volumes offline, but I have not found a way to emulate that outside of ISMF yet. Lizette I don't believe there is a VVDS on a volume if there is no VSAM, and if the volume is non-SMS. So a sysres volume probably might not have a VVDS on it, and most non-SMS volumes would not as well, unless there is VSAM. You could probably check for a VTOCIX if you make all of your volumes have an index? I do these checks in the following REXX code using the console command: CONSOLE DEACTIVATE CONSPROF SOLDISPLAY(NO) UNSOLNUM(NM) SOLNUM(NM) UNSOLDISPLAY(NO) CONSOLE ACTIVATE CART(TOKEN) NAME(NAME) VOLA=GDGX ADDRESS CONSOLE 'D U,VOL='VOLA'' ER = GETMSG(DMSG.,SOL,TOKEN,MASK,5) MSGCHECK=SUBSTR(DMSG.1,2,7) IF MSGCHECK='IEE455I' THEN DO LINE.J= 'THE VOLSER FOR GDG: 'GDGX' DOES NOT EXIST' J=J+1 END If you look into the CONSOLE command you can do the D U,VOL=xx command and interogate the output.

Re: Validating existance of a Volume from REXX
I guess I am just confused because ISMF can do it. But there does not seem to be a batch process to do the same thing. I know that Bill cannot see me kneeling and saying I AM NOT WORTHY. But, it might be nice if someone decided to build a nice batch interface for us to use. My philosophy is - if you do in one place why not the other? So, is that a challenge to write a user friendly assembler program that could be called by ANYTHING that will return the volser based on a UCB address, or return a UCB address based on a volser? Lizette z/OS deliberately obscures the volser in the UCB when it is offline - and the only way to read it is to construct your own low level I/O program to read the device label - the sort of thing that Bill Fairchild does 5 times before breakfast.

Re: Interval Migration in DFHSM and SETSYS parm
I guess that is why I cannot use my logic with DFHSM. To me if the parm is set to NOAUTOMIGRATION, then it should not do it until I change it. I get so confused sometimes with SMS. ;-D Lizette Thanks Brian, I missed the Automigrate=I in Lizette's original post. Lizette, Here's the quote from the manual: I specifies that data sets are eligible for primary space management and specifies that DFSMShsm is to perform automatic interval migration independent of the DFSMShsm Setsys Intervalmigration option. I also causes DFSMShsm to perform the same functions as if Y had been specified. Interval migration is performed on only those volumes whose occupancy is at or above their high threshold. The most frequent DFSMShsm can do interval migration is hourly. If you select I with a low threshold value of 0, DFSMShsm migrates all the eligible data sets in the selected storage group. I is most useful for storage groups used with tape mount management. Brian's right, you want Automigrate=Y Interval migration depends on the value specified AUTO MIGRATE Value for the storage group. If AUTOMIGRATE=I then interval migration will run even if SETSYS NOINTERVALMIGRATION and INTERVALMIGRATIONTASKS(0) is in place. If you want/need these parameters to be used then you need to use AUTOMIGRATE=Y.

Re: VSAM extended allocation
What is the details of your dataclas - VSAMEXT? Lizette We have a VSAM extended dataset that have filled a 3390-9 volume and we need to reallocate it. But…… I’m not sure I understand how it was allocated the way it is. Currently: The dataset is on one volume and is 149.700 tracks (data), 308 tracks (index). Data and index are on same volume. The dataclass has a blank volume count. The IDCAMS input used to allocate with is: DEFINE- CLUSTER- (NAME(PROD.AMB.AMBARKIV)- FREESPACE(0,0)- VOLUME(* *) - CYL(12000 50)- SUBAL SPEED NWCK- RECORDSIZE(150,1582)- TO(2049365)- SHR(2)- IXD- DATACLASS(VSAMEXT) - KEYS(14,0))- DATA- (NAME(PROD.AMB.AMBARKIV.DATA)- CISZ(8192))- INDEX- (NAME(PROD.AMB.AMBARKIV.INDX)- CISZ(1024)) What I do not understand is why the dataset do not allocate a secondary extend on a new volume in the storagegroup – there is free space in the storagegroup. The ‘VOLUME(* *)’ parameter should overwrite the volume count attribute in the dataclass or….? I would like to avoid a similar allocation and have the new version allocated on at least 2 volumes. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: DFHSM QUESTION - HRECOVER
A couple of steps I take 1) HLIST DSN(dsname here) BOTH This shows me if it has both and MCDS and BCDS entry. 2) My ACS code will produce WRITE statements when things don't work. 3) Under TSO issue TSO PROF and see if you have INTERCOM WTPMSG and MSGID (if any of them are NO - NOINTERCOM, NOWTPMSG, NOMSGID) then turn them on: TSO PROF MSGID WTPMSG INTERCOM 4) See if there are any message in the DFHSM log for this file. Perhaps DFDSS (ADR messages) are there to explain more why it could not recall the dataset. 5) See if SYSLOG shows any security errors when DFHSM tried to recover the file. Most likely cause could be that the ACS code cannot put the file on the volume for some reason. The ARC1170I messages for RC02 states 02An error occurred while attempting to allocate space on the target volume for the recall or recovery of a non-VSAM data set. Either DFSMShsm encountered an error attempting to invoke the VTOC/Data Set Services' (VDSS) create space function or VDSS had a failure creating the space. If the storage class assigned by your ACS routines is using guaranteed space, ensure that the assigned storage class has the original volume serials that the data set was created with, otherwise allocation fails. Check the command activity log for messages indicating the actual failure reason. Look for ARC0935I for a failure reason and SMS message IGD306I. If you received SMS IGD306I-UNEXPECTED ERROR DURING INTEXPDT PROCESSING, RETURN CODE 8, REASON CODE 1017, the problem may be the data set expiration date in the DFSMShsm MCC record for a recover function.

Re: replacement for proc pds rename function...
Yes, that and TSO RENAME also works, but I think the OP is looking for something with wildcard capabilities. For example rather than code PROC1 PROC2 PROC3 and ignore TPROC1 APROC1 etc, the OP has coded PROC PDS DDNAME=RENLIB01; CHANGE YYY:=XXX:; Which is SAS-speak for Change all PROCs that being with YYY to XXX and the trailing characters should be left as is. If you want to rename a member or members of the PDS, use the CHANGE statement. Specify the old name on the left side of the equal sign, and specify the new name on the right. Both of these tools require specific names. Lizette Don and responding contributors Maybe I'm being grossly old-fashioned - and I am certainly grossly out-of-date regarding MVS Utilities - but I believe when I wanted to create a batch job[1] in order to rename the member of a partitioned data set, procedure members in procedure libraries included, I used the entirely free - sorry, at no extra cost from IBM - utility IEHPROGM. The appropriate example - found quickly by searching for rename on the Contents web page of the z/OS DFSMSdfp Utilities (SC26-7414-04) manual (to be found in the z/OS V1R10 DFSMS bookshelf): http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2U130 Specifically 14.5.7 Example 7: Rename a Partitioned Data Set Member. quote //REN JOB ... //STEP1EXEC PGM=IEHPROGM //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //DD1 DD VOL=SER=22,DISP=OLD,UNIT=disk //SYSINDD * RENAME VOL=disk=22,DSNAME=DATASET,NEWNAME=BC,MEMBER=ABC /* /quote In effect, all the suggestions would appear to be *replacements* for the original IBM IEHPROGM utility which I am prepared to bet predates the programs named in these suggestions - and SAS - by many blue moons. Is there some subtlety I missed here caused by my long neglect of the use of MVS Utilities - or have so many alternatives cropped up in the good times packaged with must-have products that folk have forgotten about the original at no extra cost utilities? Chris Mason [1] With the aid of a little program which converted PARM field data into utility input control data sets - among other uses - and a little program which displayed the contents of the utility output print data set on the console wrapped up in handy started task procedures, I set up many frequently used functions - even incorporating some into automation - which relied on absolutely standard MVS utilities such as IEHPROGM.

Re: Something Strange
Fred, Depending on if you are using JES2 and the level, there is a command to remove a job from JES2, To remove all traces of a job structure from the JES2 job queue. WARNING: If improperly used, the ZAPJOB command can cause JES2 ABENDs, including ABENDs on multiple systems. Be sure to review the entire documentation before you use this command. ZAPJOB can be used to remove all traces of a job structure from the JES2 job queue. It is intended to be used in situations where a job cannot be removed using normal JES2 commands or by a JES2 restart. You must take special care to ensure that the job and any output it may have created are not active in any JES2 process and not active on a device. Zapping a job that is active can lead to ABENDs and the loss of a PCE until JES2 is restarted. ZAPJOB will not correct queue errors. If the JOB or output queue has an error, a JES2 restart is needed to rebuild the job queue. When specifying a job to zap, IBM recommends that you specify as many operands as are known for the job being zapped. This reduces the possibility of accidentally zapping the wrong job because of a typing error. This can avoid the use of a COLD START. However, you may have to cold start if the job is still somewhat alive if you use this. Lizette with the previous posts, I am unclear on *what* you actually did. To me it sounded as if you only see this address space in SDSF, not via normal MVS system commands. Meaning that there is no address space by that name, it is 'just' a bad entry left somewhere in JES2. This would explain why a JES2 warmstart still shows it when a cold start does get rid of it. So, not having seen the actual MVS command response to a D A,SPRTREB, did you ever try the MVS command c LCL709? Did you try any MVS commands other than line commands from SDSF? -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: EKM and Hash Keys
Okay, so if I understand. I get the public key from the 3rd party client. I import the key into my environment. I code my JCL to use // KEYLABL1=’MyEKMServerJCEKS’, // KEYENCD1=L, // KEYLABL2=’CompanyXPublicKeyJCEKS’, // KEYENCD2=H, Where my public key is called MyEKMServerJCEKS and the 3rd party's public key is called CompayXPublicKeyJCEKS that I had imported into my system.

DFHSM and WLM Settings
I ran into a small issue where when using Interval Migration DFHSM took all the resources on my small LPAR. Even on my largest LPAR it still consumes a lot of resources. IBM Suggested I set DFHSM to STCMED. My concern is that since we have a lot of tasks in WLM at SYSSTC (not my choice) that if a recall or migrate was requested, that DFHSM might be impacted by the other high runnings tasks. Has anyone delt with Interval Migration and controlling it via WLM? Does anyone else have DFHSM in STCMED and if so, how is that working for DFHSM.

Re: System data sets and 3390-27
One thing I would look at is which datasets might run into conentions when on the same Mod27. I am not sure if this still holds true, but I would hesitate to put the JES2 Checkpoint, SPool and CA1 TMC all on the same volume. Nor would I want to put page datasets with other datasets on the same volume. I believe you might see some poorer performace from doing this. I think there are still system datasets that need to be kept on separate volumes to prevent poor performance. However, if you are going to put on RACF Data Base on one Mod27 - nothing else on that volume, then some might question the waste of space. I am sure there is a balance to those issues. Lizette We are moving from a Shark with no PAV's to a EMC SAN with PAV's. We are going to use 3390-27's. I have read most of the archives on 3390-27's but I did not see anything on running your sysres or system data sets from a 27? We are thinking about going totally with 3390-27's, which means we must run with the sysres, jes checkpoint and spool, catalogues, RACF database, etc on the 27's. Is anyone doing that?

Re: System data sets and 3390-27
If I understand DASD correctly, our mainframe dasd is carved out of the EMC storage (or whomever) array. This dasd lays virtually across multiple disks in the storage array depending on its RAID configuration. And you may or may not use BCV or PAV. I am currently working with a DMX4500 storage array running 73GB disks at 15,000RPM. It is transparent to me what it does with the definitions that are my 3390 dasd farm. Once the dasd is carved as a 3390 type device it is still a full volume as far as the mainframe is concerned. The storage array might be doing something with virtualization, I am not sure. But once you make it a 3390-3 or 3390-9 or 3390-27 and so forth it is a full volume of that size to the mainframe. The storage array will select the storage on its disk where that will be setting (hence virtual dasd). Does the storage array actually have that storage all tied up for that device? I am not sure, but on the mainframe side it will look like that type of disk. So we no longer have the old cabinets spinning the round brown disks with 3390 technology. We now have a storage array that pretends to be 3390 dasd but the storage array deals with how the data lays across its disks internal in the device. But for me - I still see it as a 3390-xx. I clip it, format it, move datasets to it just like I use to. I would think that there are still performance issues for these virtual disks so that we should consider keeping certain dataset types on their own individual dasd. Which is where storage arrays are great. You can create a 3390-1 which I will define as so many cylinders. It can contain my individual datasets, like RACF DB, JES Ckpt, or others. So now I can have a 10 cyl, 1000 cyl, or any size I like and call it a 3390-1 which I can put those types of dataset upon. I am still learning about this storage array environment. And I always learn something new whenever I work with them. It's a new frontier for me.

I was convinced that all that is virtualized in such a way that waste of space is actually not an issue anymore. As the actual physical spinning platters are only used when there is actual data to store, allocating a big 3390 and not writing anything on it should not consume much capacity, no?

Re: Migrate at close
Just so I have a clearer understanding - Is this to create a backup or DR file for offsite? Could you use a management class that would move it to ML2 a little later? Does it need to be immediate?

Re: How do you handle SMS Pools out of space
Just to provide a little more detail. The pool is dedicated to DB2 Archive Logs. Normally our process of a low threshold and migrating every night works fine. The pool stays about 80% free, However, when there is a runaway DB2 function or a large purge, it can fill up quite quickly. It is these emergencies I am working on. The speed at which the archive logs are written can overwhelm a spill group or extend pool. I will probably go ahead and develop the REXX for an automated migration on the pool. I have a utility from the CBT to collect the dataset names I need to issue the migrate against. By the way, my DBAs are quite happy with dasd archives and do not want to use tape for their archives. Thanks for all the suggestions. Lizette There are many ways. Creating overflow groups generally get messy over time because of the nature of the allocations. There is also Extended Storage Groups that can be defined in the DFSMS Constructs. Again, this can become messy over time. Doing aggressive migration, whether through interval migration or lower thresholds of the storage groups can create serious thrashing problems within DFHSM. Creating the REXX based on IGD messages is an option. In order to perform the migration on the correct data sets to prevent problems, you will need to access the VTOC and determine based on days unreferenced, size, and data type what to migrate, and how many. Do you migrate everything based on 14 days unreferenced, greater than 300 cylinders, and only PS data sets, or do you pick some other criteria? Do you do something additional to move more data if the first migration did not create enough free space? Also using SAS and DCOLLECT is an option, which is what I used before I got gray hair. :-) I finally got tired of maintaining the code and bought a solution from a vendor. That was almost 15 years ago. We have a couple of SMS pools that are usually 80% free all the time.

Re: Question concerning pre-mature uncatalog/delete of a tape file.
David, The second step seems to be a proc over ride statement. What does the SYSUT2 DD statement look like in the COPY Proc? I would think that if there were an issue with CA1 then you would have more than one tape dataset getting expired and scratched like this. It is more likely that the way the job ran caused the tape to be scratched. The original output from the job would be so helpful in resolving this issue. However, since you no longer have that output, I am not sure what other steps could help identify the issue. Did you run the TMS AUDIT? If so, what did it show? Lizette Yes, I did notice that. Checking the jcl the first reference to the dataset in question is //M4OLD DD DSN=HLQ.PUBLIC.MASTER,DISP=(OLD,PASS,CATLG), // UNIT=ETAPE,EXPDT=99000 The second reference is a Icegener //COPY.SYSUT2 DD DSN=HLQ.PUBLIC.MASTER,DISP=(OLD,KEEP) One would think Expdt=99000 should have been coded here but that is not the case. I'm sure that you noticed but the CRTDT changed with RGWOPMSC @ 2009142 20.18.36.15. It went from CRTDT=09135 EXPDT=99000 at 20.18.01.43 to CRTDT=09142 EXPDT=0 at 20.18.36.15. And it looks like the same job? I don't know how to read DAF but could a step in the job (SYSUT2) opened the tape for output and changed TMS?

Re: Question concerning pre-mature uncatalog/delete of a tape file.
You are welcome. Sometimes we forget the simplest things and that is what we are here for. To help us remember the stuff we forget. :-D Lizette Lizette, A belated Thank You is in order for suggesting TMSAUDIT and then gently reminding me when I didn't run it when you first suggested. The volume which was scratched had Expdt=LDATE/005 from 2008/323 until 2009/144. On 2009/149 it was picked up by TMSCLEAN and scratched. File now is under Catalog control. . David, The second step seems to be a proc over ride statement. What does the SYSUT2 DD statement look like in the COPY Proc? I would think that if there were an issue with CA1 then you would have more than one tape dataset getting expired and scratched like this. It is more likely that the way the job ran caused the tape to be scratched. The original output from the job would be so helpful in resolving this issue. However, since you no longer have that output, I am not sure what other steps could help identify the issue. Did you run the TMS AUDIT? If so, what did it show? Lizette Yes, I did notice that. Checking the jcl the first reference to the dataset in question is //M4OLD DD DSN=HLQ.PUBLIC.MASTER,DISP=(OLD,PASS,CATLG), // UNIT=ETAPE,EXPDT=99000 The second reference is a Icegener //COPY.SYSUT2 DD DSN=HLQ.PUBLIC.MASTER,DISP=(OLD,KEEP) One would think Expdt=99000 should have been coded here but that is not the case. I'm sure that you noticed but the CRTDT changed with RGWOPMSC @ 2009142 20.18.36.15. It went from CRTDT=09135 EXPDT=99000 at 20.18.01.43 to CRTDT=09142 EXPDT=0 at 20.18.36.15. And it looks like the same job? I don't know how to read DAF but could a step in the job (SYSUT2) opened the tape for output and changed TMS?

Re: Supersession to CA-TPX
Bill - I converted our Super Session to TPX in 2007. There is no utility. However, if you are not too heavy in the panels with SS it is not too bad. So you know, I know no VTAM, I know not about communication software. And yet, I was able to do this conversion. If you need help, write me offlist. I can share what I know about ACLE (Which you WILL need and it is an add on product $$). We are next door neighbors and so will be glad to lend a hand.

It is simple, efficient and lacking in a lot of bells and whistles.

Re: Language Environment runtime options and system dumps
I apologize for not keeping up with this thread. If the intent is to use IPCS to debug an LE SVC Dump, then you need to use VERBX LEDATA and get hold of the DSA and one other control block. The LE DSA will point you to the regs at time of abend. I think you always get the U40xx abend out of LE. The IPCS VERBX LEDATA will take you to the info you are looking for in the SVC Dump.

Figure 14 on page 89 illustrates the output produced when the LEDATA Verbexit is invoked with the ALL parameter. The system dump being formatted was obtained by specifying the TERMTHDACT(UADUMP) run-time option when running the program CELSAMP in Figure 5 on page 44. Sections of the Language Environment LEDATA Verbexit formatted output on page 100 describes the information contained in the formatted output.

Re: SMS Dataset Allocation Problem
A B37-04 says you did not successfully get all the space needed for the primary allocation on the 1st volumes. Products like DTS Software, STOPX37, etc can also help prevent these types of failures. When SPACE= is coded you have 5 extents to get the primary allocation on the volume. The secondary space allocation has upto (I think) 123 extents to get it. But when you go after the primary allocation, you need to do it in 5 extents. This can be avoided by codind VOLUME COUNT in Data class, or using a software product like STOPX37. When the pack or pool is fragmented, small chunks of storage is available, then it is possible you can not get 2000 cylinders in 5 extents. Hence the SB37-04 To correct this you can code your Data Class to allow more volumes (canidates) to be available to your files.

Re: SMS Dataset Allocation Problem
The other option might be the SPACE CONSTRAINT Parameter within the DATA CLASS. Spreading the requested quantity over multiple volumes Allocating a percentage of the requested quantity Using more than 5 extents Space Constraint Relief specifies whether or not to retry an allocation that was unsuccessful due to space constraints on the volume. Note that allocation is attempted on all candidate volumes before it is retried. This attribute applies only to system- managed data sets, and is limited to new data set allocations, and while extending the data set on new volumes. Y specifies that SMS retry the allocation. N specifies that SMS does not retry the allocation, so that allocation is not attempted on multiple volumes. This is the default. Reduce Space Up to (%) specifies the amount by which you want to reduce the requested space quantity when the allocation is retried. You must specify Y for the Space Constraint Relief attribute. Valid values are 0 to 99. If you request space constraint relief but do not specify a percentage value (either 0 or blank), SMS does not reduce the requested space quantity. This implies your application cannot tolerate a reduction in the space to be allocated, so only the 5 extent limit is relieve Data Class Name . . : DB2VOLS Data Set Name Type . . . . . : If Extended . . . . . . . . : Extended Addressability . . : NO Record Access Bias . . . . : Space Constraint Relief . . . : YES Reduce Space Up To (%) . . : 20 Dynamic Volume Count . . . : Compaction . . . . . . . . . : Spanned / Nonspanned . . . . : Media Interchange Media Type . . . . . . . . : Recording Technology . . . : Performance Scaling . . . . : Performance Segmentation . : And the last area you might look at is EXTENT CONSTRAINT REMOVAL Data Class Name : DB2VOLS Reuse . . . . . . . . . . . : NO Initial Load . . . . . . . . : RECOVERY BWO . . . . . . . . . . . . : Log . . . . . . . . . . . . : Logstream Id . . . . . . . . : FRlog . . . . . . . . . . . : RLS CF Cache Value . . . . . : ALL RLS Above the 2-GB Bar . . . : NO Extent Constraint Removal . : NO Lizette A B37-04 says you did not successfully get all the space needed for the primary allocation on the 1st volumes.

Re: Symbolic parameters inside SYSIN
The best option is to create an ISPF Skel process or REXX or Clist to do the substitution, create the batch job and Control Cards, and then submit the job. There is nothing currently in TSO or JCL that will do the kind of process you need that I know of. Lizette Hello, I am trying to optimize some tasks I perform with my MQ Series. My idea is to delete a bunch of MQ objects just passing am unique number reference that identifies our partners. The JCL would look like this: //DLPARTNR PROC REF= //CSQUTIL1 EXEC PGM=CSQUTIL,REGION=0M, //PARM='BCMH' //STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SSTP.HZ19.MQS600.SCSQANLE // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SSTP.HZ19.MQS600.SCSQAUTH //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSINDD DISP=SHR,DSN=SSTP.SYSIN(DEL1) //CSQUCMD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SSTP.SYSIN(DEL2) So I have several MQ-delete commands contained inside of the DEL1 and DEL2 SYSIN datasets, somewhat like this: DELETE CHANNEL(MYCOMPANY.TO.REF) I ended up discovering that symbols parameters I submit do not replace the ones contained on SYSIN data, is this true?

Articles Mainframe Proponents caution Big Iron Defectors and zPRIM from Neon
There are a couple of interesting articles in Enterprise Systems update http://tinyurl.com/nkptlb Mainframe Proponents caution Big Iron Defectors While mainframe defectors like the TTX Co., the New York Stock Exchange and Meritz Financial Information Services tout their reasons for migrating off big iron onto x86 servers, mainframe proponents say there are plenty of reasons not to. Joe Clabby, who leads the analyst firm Clabby Analytics, said the trend off mainframes and onto x86 servers running virtualization is actually a step backward. PCs are not mainframes, and VMware is nowhere near mainframes from an advanced virtualization and provisioning perspective, he said. Mainframes are so much more advanced than VMware that it may take that customer 10 years to get what they have now in virtualization, automatic provisioning and workload management. Move CICS, DB2, IMS, TSO/ISPF and batch to specialty processors According to a recent analyst report on Neon Software's zPrime, mainframe users may soon be able to run traditional mainframe workloads on the IBM mainframe zIIP and zAAP specialty processors, lowering billable MIPs on the central processor.

Re: Delete Tape Datasets
Could you use the ACS routines to set the TAPE to a different retention period and leave the dasd part alone? I am sure you can use IF ((DSN = db2_log_dsn ) (UNIT=TAPE) ) then MGMTCLAS= to do something like that. Do you have a storage admin person you can ask? Lizette For some reason, the tape(s) on which these datasets reside have an expiration date of 4 days. The owner of these datasets does not want to change that, but he does want the day old datasets deleted. Why should you have to go and manually (or automatically) delete tapes after one day, just because the owner doesn't want to change the expiry date? It's your shop, but that is the purpose of an expiry date, especially with a tape management system. Once you do something like that, you'll open the doors to even more complex solutions for simple problems. - Too busy driving to stop for gas Yes, but according to our DB2 DBA... we use dual logging, one set to tape, one set to DASD. He wants to keep the ones going to DASD for 4 days, but delete the tape ones after one day. There's a zparm... DSN6ARVP ARCRETN set to 4, which sets the retention to 4 days, but (excuse me for being a DB2 novice...) did not see anything in the DB2 manuals about setting retention for tape to 1 day andkeeping the DASD retention period to 4 days -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

TAPE Encryption
When you run tape Encryption on a stacked tape do you encrypt all files that are stacked on a tape or just one file on the stacked tape? For example, I have a batch backup job that places 35 dumped volumes on one tape. I have looked at the doc and it seems I could place the encryption on the first file only and the whole tape will be encrypted. Or does it not take any more time or resources to have encryption happen for each volume on the stacked tape? I have been asked to place encrption on each file via Dataclas/ACS routines on a stacked tape. I am just trying to get a handle of what the performance trade offs are.

Re: TAPE Encryption
Mark, I agree with your statement. My concern is that some want to set up the ACS code to be generic, IF (DSN=PROD.**) Then DATACLAS=ENCRYPT. I want to update the JCL on just the first file to include the DATACLAS=ENCRYPT. So I am trying to figure it out the price of doing all the files individually on a stacked tape. Would iit slow down the process, and if it does, how can I calculate it? I know there is a some XX seconds it takes to do the encryption. If I have 35 files being encrypted on the tape, then I expect the answer should be 35 times XX seconds in delay of the job finishing. I am also told that if I use OPENTECH or COPYCAT to copy these stacked volumes to an offsite tape, then I do not need to encrypt the offsite tape as the files being copied are encrypted to start with. So the offsite tape becomes encrypted by default. Or did I get that wrong?

Re: TAPE Encryption
We are fairly basic. A TS3500 Library with TS1120 E05 drives. It is ficon attached. Lizette Lizette, To get a correct answer you need to provide details of what kind of encryption you are doing. Are you using encryption in the tape hardware (for example IBM TS1120 which are encryption enabled), or are you encrypting using s/w on the host system? Outboard encryption in the IBM tape hardware is complete volume and is almost no different performance than not encrypting. Using s/w - well that is a different story and would depen d on the s/w you are using.

Article Mainframe Stolen
From the Palistine Herold in Palestine TX. This was repeated in the Enterprise e-Mag. Apparently when you steal the MAINFRAME the data is on it. Lizette Mainframe computer stolen from local TVCC campus By PAUL STONE The Palestine Herald PALESTINE — A “mainframe computer” containing confidential student information was stolen over the weekend from the Palestine campus of Trinity Valley Community College, according to local authorities. Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor told the Herald-Press Monday that the computer was stolen from an office inside the Anderson Building at the rear of the campus which is located on Texas 19, north of the Palestine city limits. The building houses the college’s EMT, cosmotology and nursing classes, he added. The sheriff said the break-in apparently occurred sometime between 10 a.m. Friday and 8 a.m. Monday when it was discovered by a school employee. Taylor said the computer included student and class information, including grades. “Unfortunately, there’s personal information on there,” the sheriff said. Also reported stolen from a separate office in the same building was $30 cash and a $200 check, according to Taylor. Additionally, a glass container filled with urine was discovered in the office where the money was stolen, according to the sheriff. The suspect(s) gained entry into the Anderson Building by prying open a back door, according to Taylor. “There was some evidence removed at the scene,” Taylor said. “We don’t have any named suspects at this time.” Estimated amount of damage was unknown as of mid-afternoon Monday. “Of course, they cut a lot of wires (to take the mainframe computer),” the sheriff said. “There will be a lot of damage.” --- -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Offload work to zIIP with zPRIME
I have a concern about the zPRIME product. If the zXXP engines are for SRB (pre-emptible) work, then my understanding is that the SRB cannot have any SVCs save for OPEN. So I am wondering how the process could work when normal TCB work would have SVCs it executes. Is there a way to determine that this UOW has no SVC so therefore I can make it look like an SRB and have it move the zXXP engine? Or can I blindly move a UOW to the zXXP engine and if it has an SVC - fail, and then the system would dispatch back to the CP? Am I missing something here?

You can always restart DAE with T DAE=00 if you have it setup according to the MVS Init and Tuning Ref. Lizette I have a sysplex dump directory that I would like to delete/reallocate (keeping the same name) but I can't seem to find a way to free it from DUMPSRV. Has anyone done this?

Re: address space creation
Since this is a 3rd party vendor, I am not sure you could convert to SYSTEM REXX which was implemented in z/OS V1.9. AXR is the prefix for SYSTEM Rexx. I am guessing that the vendor has you running a PROC for this process using IRXJCL? Or is it a IKJEFTxx program? Currently if your normal TSO users are fine, then it is a problem within this Vendor's Process. I do not know of any function that could cause this, and not having seen the REXX code or this product, cannot give much more thoughts on this issue. If the vendor states that they have not coded for this type of error, then they need to assist you with analysis. If you have the source, you could see if it is modifiable. If not, then have the vendor work with you to resolve this issue. The vendor should be able to put some additional code in this REXX for you to provide more details. If you see MAX USERS, it maybe a message produced by the vendor code, if so, they could add some displays to explain why they are seeing this issue. Lizette Max TSO users 60, we never reach that. It does timeout and logoffs and logs back on when needed. If you could catch a moment when it gets that message (I cant, never know when, I could issue d ts,l periodically) 3rd party says they never coded for this error.

Only messages I have show 11.5 but no SPxx level in them or GENLEVEL. I think because CA1 is s stable, it did not have the nice little feature. I have heard R12 should be out in the near future. If so, maybe Russ has had that added to the improvements Lizette Lizette, Doesn't CA1 list the level when it starts?

Re: IEFU29 and Automation
When you used Mark's solution, how did you code //SMFDUMP PROC MAN='X',ALL=FALSE The X= part? This process requires the fully qualified MAN file to be dumped. You should have started the ALL process something like S SMFDUMP,MAN='SYS1.MANx',ALL=TRUE Where MAN is your fully qualified man file. Is that what you did? If it is, please show us the JCL output from the failed process. Lizette I am having a discussion with a coworker about whether or not we need to run IEFU29. We have OPS/MVS in house. I say that we do not need IEFU29 because OPS/MVS can trap on the IEE388I SMF NOW RECORDING ON VOLSER DCSMF3, DSN=SYS1.SPG7.MAN3 TIME=10.30.00 message, display the man files at that point and the issue the Dump command for the correct MAN file. My coworker says we have to run the IEFU29 exit to do this. I know we could put the IEFU29 in place, but I think the less exits to maintain the better. I've done it both ways. Here, we use IEFU29 but used to use automation on a few of monoplex LPARs. I standardized on IEFU29 sometime after I started working here. One advantage that the automation had was that when shutting down LPARs you can leave a MANx file that still needs to be dumped (too late in the shutdown process for it to be started), then the next time you IPL it will start recording on the first one which leaves a MANx file that needs to be dumped. The old automation used to include a D SMF at IPL time and dump those MANx files that required it. There were 2 solutions I had for that. 1) Ignore it. As long as there were enough MANx data sets to handle the load, the SMFDUMP program that runs after midnight dumps them all anyway (in addition to doing a switch). MXG doesn't care if the SMF data is out of order anyway. 2) Use a proc like the following at IPL time and S SMFDUMP,ALL=TRUE (I only use this in my sandbox LPARs that don't have automation nor SMF daily processing): //SMFDUMP PROC MAN='X',ALL=FALSE //* //* THIS PROC IS NORMALLY STARTED VIA IEFU29 SMF EXIT WHEN AN //* SMF DATA SET SWITCH OCCURS (ONLY THE FIRST STEP RUNS): //*S SMFDUMP,MAN=SMF.DATA.SET.NAME //* //* AT IPL TIME IS IS STARTED AS FOLLOWS TO RUN THE SMFDUMP //* PROGRAM TO ENSURE ALL FULL SYS1.MANX DATA SETS ARE DUMPED: //*S SMFDUMP,ALL=TRUE //* //* IT IS ALSO STARTED THIS WAY AT MIDNIGHT TO USE THE SMFDUMP //* PROGRAM WHICH FORCES AN SMF SWITCH IN ORDER TO CAPTURE ALL //* THE SMF DATA UP TO THAT POINT FOR DAILY PROCESSING. //* //TESTEXEC EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //* // //TESTONE IF (TESTEXEC.RUN NE ALL) THEN // //DUMPONE EXEC PGM=IFASMFDP,TIME=1440 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //DUMPIN DD DSN=MAN,DISP=SHR //DUMPOUT DD DSN=hlq.SYSNAME..SMF(+1),DISP=(,CATLG), // DCB=(SYS1.MODEL,LRECL=X,BLKSIZE=32756,RECFM=VBS),UNIT=SYSDA, // SPACE=(CYL,(100,100),RLSE) //SYSINDD DUMMY // ENDIF // //TESTALL IF (TESTEXEC.RUN EQ ALL) THEN // //DUMPALL EXEC PGM=SMFDUMP,TIME=1440 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //DUMPOUT DD DSN=hlq.SYSNAME..SMF(+1),DISP=(,CATLG), // DCB=(SYS1.MODEL,LRECL=X,BLKSIZE=32756,RECFM=VBS),UNIT=SYSDA, // SPACE=(CYL,(100,100),RLSE) //SYSINDD DUMMY // ENDIF -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html I have tried to implement this sample.

Re: How to encrypt DFHSM Tapes
Thanks for the correction. I should not respond from the top of the head. It never works for me. Anyway I have a clearer description of the issue. Apparently DFHSM is using ESOTERICS, and we will need to create a new esoteric (including a change to the IODF) for it to use for the E05 drives. I am not sure why since we only have one type of tape drive. We have DFHSM currently set to use the esoteric for 3590-1. I am still researching this because I believe we should be able to do this with a more general esoteric inside DFHSM. Lizette Lizette, EFMT2 does not mean the tape is encrypted. In fact, it means it isn't. EFMT simply means Enterprise Format. EEFMT2 is the encrypted version. EEFMT means Enterprise Encrypted Format. EFMT1 was the tape format of the original 3592 tape drives (the J1A models), EFMT2 is the TS1120 tape drives, and EFMT3 is the TS1130 drive native format which is related to the density and capacity of the tapes. It was what I was told. I have not confirmed or verified my colleagues' statement. If the DFHSM tape is actually EFMT2 then I will believe that it is being encrypted but not by DFHSM.
